Lie, cheat and steal: high school ethics surveyed

So, I stumbled across this article today on MSN.com.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27983915/?GT1=43001
The subject is Lie, cheat and steal: high school ethics surveyed. As I'm reading I'm thinking to myself...This is just further proof that today's parenting concepts are not working. Now, granted, I was raised with an iron fist and a not too flattering verbal approach that has left a few of it's own scars. Here it comes, BUT, good grief, "30 percent of U.S. high school students have stolen from a store and 64 percent have cheated on a test." "One-fifth said they stole something from a friend; 23 percent said they stole something from a parent or other relative."
It's not too encouraging to realize these are the people that will be taking over finance and industry in the next 10 - 20 years.
Although...considering where we are right now you gotta kinda wonder.
It appears that the Me generation (all those Baby-boomers) has turned it all into a big steaming pile of s@#t.
